Introduction • Time synchronizationis an important issue in a variety of network. • Underwater acoustic mobile sensor networks (UAMSNs) • acoustic channel • the speed of sound in water cause acoustic wave to travel on curved paths • temperature, density and salinity • high propagation delay can reduce the throughput
Introduction • This multivariantspeed adds troubles in predictingpropagation delay. • Thus, time synchronization is also estimated difficultly.
Introduction • Time synchronization unsynchronized time accurate time skew offset

Related Works • MU-Sync • The clock skew and offset is estimated by applying linear regression twice over a set of n reference beacons. It does not takeinto account the propagation delay different from round trip time, which causes the estimate error
Goals • In underwater acoustic mobile sensor networks(UAMSNs) • Design an energy efficiency distributed time synchronizationalgorithm (called “E2DTS”)
Assumptions • The speed of sound in underwater is 0.3 m/s • Mobility of each node is considered in this paper • Underwater node: resulted in the mobility of ocean current • Beacon node (AUV): automatically moving
